In case anyone doubts the airlines are doing really really badly, behold all the airline stumbling over themselves in the last few days offering double and triple miles toward qualification and crazy mileage promotions:
Just today, Delta offered triple elite miles for first/business/full-fare coach (delta.com/elite) thru June 15 and Continental over the weekend offered double elite miles for all flights March 20 - June 15, even if you booked before the bonus was announced (https://www.continental.com/web/en-US/apps/onepass/promotions/registrationDetails.aspx?promoCode=TB8M05&SID=E05B19D090C541759F8486CB7E2553A2). THe latter is going to help crescent quite a bit, living in Continental's most profitable hub.
United beat them to the punch on Thursday, united.com/eqmoffer
These deals generally matched one I think started by American on Wednesday who is going overboard by also offering a crazy 50,000 miles for first or business class to Britain (London or Manchester), the most I have ever seen for flying just roundtrip.

The Travel Map
OK, this is an exercise in egotism, but why do a travel map complete with celebratory pins over where you've been if no one can see it?
